Next up in the SOPA fight

Hi Indiana, This week is shaping up to be a big one for the future of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The House Judiciary Committee -- which has jurisdiction over the bill, and the greatest power to stop or change it -- has scheduled the legislation for what's called "markup" this Thursday at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Markup provides the opportunity for legislators to make edits to the bill to make it less harmful to the internet we know and love, and to weaken support for it overall. Opponents of SOPA from every industry, ideology, and background across the Web are teaming up this week for a show of opposition, flooding Congress with calls against SOPA and censoring our own content to demonstrate how widely SOPA could reach if enacted. Can you make a call today? Get started here at AmericanCensorship.org. Mozilla has already made its voice heard in this fight -- thanks to you. Two weeks ago, there was strong concern that the Senate would try and move the Protect IP Act -- companion legislation to SOPA in the Senate -- before the new year. But thousands of Mozillians -- and many others from around the Web -- raised their voices. And now, while the legislation is not stopped, we can rest assured it won't pass this year. I hope you'll raise your voice again today -- get started here at AmericanCensorship.org, a coalition resource put together for this campaign: https://donate.mozilla.org/American-Censorship Thanks so much, Ben P.S. -- Not in the US?
